passant-GarVi-03-5Compatible with the Garmin Forerunner 235, this navy blue silicone loop keeps the 22 mm strap neatly fastened whether you are training, swimming or simply wearing the watch day to day. It stretches just enough to slip on without tools, then holds the strap end firmly against your wrist. A simple way to keep a favourite Garmin comfortable and secure.
The Forerunner 235 reads heart rate at the wrist, so it works best when the watch stays snug and does not wander. A keeper that has lost its grip lets the band tail lift and the case shift, and the optical sensor can lose contact. This navy blue loop gives the 22 mm strap its firm hold back.
Dark blue is a natural partner for the many Forerunner 235 owners who run in blue kit or have chosen a navy band. On a black strap it becomes a quiet signature, visible only when someone looks closely. It is a small way to make a very common running watch feel a little more your own.
Fit matters more than colour, though. Garmin bands are moulded with a profile and thickness of their own, which is why this keeper is made for the Forerunner 235 band specifically rather than for any 22 mm strap. The silicone stretches enough to be eased over the tip by hand and then contracts to grip.
After a sweaty tempo run or a rainy long run, rinse the loop under the tap with a little soap. It does not absorb moisture or odours the way fabric would.
Does a loose keeper really affect heart-rate readings on the Forerunner 235? A strap that slides lets the watch move, which can disturb wrist readings; a firm keeper helps the band stay where you set it.
Is the navy keeper for the 235 the same width as the black one? Yes, both are made for the 22 mm Forerunner 235 band.
